💨 Abstract

The article discusses Keir Starmer's plans to boost UK defense spending, highlighting the importance of a trained military reserve. The author, a self-described liberal, supports this stance, stating a willingness to defend their country. They acknowledge that many progressives associate military preparedness with nationalism or unjust wars. The author contrasts the UK's approach with Ukraine's defense efforts and calls for a cultural shift in the UK, encouraging more young adults to join the military reserves to defend democratic values and liberties.
